Description: | This long spear was made in Tonga, probably in the 1700s and it has been in Northeast England since the 1790s. The series of barbs are all carved from one piece of wood, which must have taken a lot of skill and time. Spears like this were probably made for show as much as for fighting. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
